We always talk about mental health, but today we focus on your mental wealth. As long as your mental wealth is intact, you will always be able to provide for you and your loved ones. Things that directly affect your mental wealth are the things you read, the people you hand around and the places you frequent often. Episode 126 is a challenge to all listeners to first take care of your mental health and then do the same for your mental wealth.

In a recent (and rare) interview, Lil Wayne stated that he doesn’t pay attention to any current events because he is so involved in music.

HAPPY NEW YEAR and thanks once again for tuning into Corporate Coke & Smack Podcast. 2019 was a great year for the show. We were able to bring on some very prestigious guests and also get more involved with mentoring and other community events.

This show started with highlighting some of our memorable moments from 2019 as well as recapping what happened in the stock market and economy throughout the year. The S&P 500 finished the year with a gain of 31%. That was well above expectations and has many investors optimistic for 2020 while we are still in this historic bull run.

Tobe & Josh also spoke about habits they are breaking and creating to make this year very successful. The guys get very transparent in some of their faults they have committed but also how they are using solutions to rid themselves of the habits that are holding them back from massive success.

The guys took time out to talk about some misconceptions regarding stock investing and what you can do to get started. Trust me, you don't have to be super rich! These topics, Tesla's bull run, budgeting tips, and MORE are discussed during this episode.

Find a strategy that works for you, try it over time and re-evaluate! We touch on the indecisiveness people have when it comes to implementing change and how you can overcome that. Tesla and Elon Musk also dominated a few topics as they have been in the news lately.

Make sure you tell a friend to tell a friend that Corporate Coke and Smack is the hottest and most influential podcast of the decade. No cap lol!

Happy Holiday! In this episode of CC Smack, Josh was able to sit down with Rahkim Sabree. Rahkim is a 2x author, a TedX speaker and founder of a non-profit that assists with homelessness. As a young entrepreneur, Rahkim sheds light on some of his journeys that have allowed him to expand his network and open up opportunities he previously hadn't envisioned.

This episode brought dialogue that many people will relate to but may never have taken time to map out in this journey called life. Rahkim gives his persepctive on topics such as being the lead financial person in the family and what its like to balance your corporate job with personal ventures. You don't want to miss the segment where we talk about the lack of financial literacy and ways that Rahkim and Josh can help remediate this issue.

Tune in to hear the entire conversation and be sure to check out Rahkim on Twitter @finance_fridays and IG @rahkimsabree

As the year comes to an end, Josh & Tobe took time out of the show to reflect on their personal development this year and habits you can implement to have a strong 2020. White boards are definitely a great resource. In the finance segment, the topic of fractional shares is discussed as Robinhood introduced this feature last week. This allows users to access more expensive stocks they may not have previously been able to afford. Is this good for beginner investors who's Robinhood customer base is mostly made of? We talk about the risks involved with having access to pricier stocks.

The main segment of the show consist of discussing the benefits of investing while working your 9-5. Being able to do such gives you a head start to become a full time entrepreneur if that is in your aspirations. Don't think you have to do one or the other. Start investing and use the extra income to compound your investment returns.

This is an action packed episode. Tune in, leave us a rating and let us know your thoughts.

The episode is based around passing on assets and wealth. With the death of Juice Wrld (RIP), we dig into what would happen to his estate if he didn't have a will as well as the surge in Go Fund Me accounts for funerals.

We also sparked a conversation around nepotism and its effects. Is it a good/bad thing? A report about McDonalds mentioned Black franchisees feeling a way about getting bad locations compared to Caucasian counterparts.

Lastly, along with the usual coke & smack, we give you some work ethic advice to help you juggle different ventures. You have to monitor the marginal cost of every additional venture you add to your plate!

Enjoy!

Another episode of Corporate Coke & Smack. An action packed show we had today with the return of Josh to team up with Tobe to tackle to widely talked about topics in the business, finance, and personal development world. We discuss how well the S&P 500 have done this year. Did you know only 12 stocks in the index have experience a negative return YTD? Also in asset management news, we discuss the implications that the Charles Schwab's acquisition of TD Ameritrade may have in the brokerage industry.

In entrepreneurship and personal development, the discussion turns to juggling multiple ventures and how outsourcing is necessary for your company to scale. Everything can't be done by 1 or 2 people to take your company to the next level. Finding specialists at tasks you need completed is one of the first steps. Also knowing your budget is key in these situations to so that you can be more cost effective. We also discuss the cancellation of the movie "The Banker", Apple new airpod straps, Bitcoin price movement, and MORE!
